Along with this, the game recently got a new patch, adding updates to the recent Havoc release in EVE Online.

EVE Online: Havoc Updates

Also today, CCP Games released a free patch for EVE Online following the launch of the Havoc expansion last week. Highlights include:

  • Lifted restrictions on EverMark trading, reinstating players' in-game transaction freedoms.
  • Dynamic, in-game music that adapts to the unfolding narratives of corruption and suppression.
  • Quality of Life improvements for Corporation Projects.

With the release of the Havoc expansion, EVE Online is powering into its third decade of continuous operation and boasts an increase in CCU of over 30% since the launch of last year's Uprising expansion. Following the launch of EVE Online: Havoc last week, capsuleers have:

  • Enlisted with pirate factions and have successfully spread corruption, altering the map of New Eden in both lowsec space and highsec space.
  • Acquired SKINs designed by a player for the first time ever in the game.
  • Finally been able to get stuck into the new Insurgency sites such as the Mining Ambush, whose design is inspired by player behavior. Depending on how they side, players can save an ORE Rorqual ship, ransom it for bounty… or take a more nefarious option of ransoming the ORE Rorqual and destroying it anyway.5
